An older US made Pflueger Medalist 1494 or 1495 is all I ever intend to use for a 5-7wt rod. They range from $15 to $45 on eBay, pawn shops, antique shops, garage sales, etc. They are practically indestructible for fresh and saltwater applications. In earlier years I owned Orvis, Hardy, Lamson, Ross, Cortland and others. I've sold them all for various reasons and am now a diehard Pflueger man.
